doctor play

Doctor play refers to a form of imaginative play where children emulate medical professionals, often using toys or role-playing scenarios. This activity allows them to explore concepts of health, care, and compassion, while also processing their own experiences with doctors or medical situations. It can help children develop empathy, social skills, and an understanding of health-related themes. Through doctor play, children can act out situations involving check-ups, diagnoses, and treatment, fostering their emotional and cognitive development in a safe and playful environment. It is a natural way for them to make sense of the world around them.
